I wore ski pants to work today.
After putting on my professional career clothing, doing my makeup, styling my hair, I put ski pants on in order to leave the house.
It felt like a supreme loss of dignity to be going anywhere other than skiing or snowshoeing in a pair of ski pants. They just don't say 'I'm a career woman.'
The fact that I work at a University also contributes to the ski pant related loss of dignity. All of these young adults, dressed stylishly for their day of classes and flirting, and I'm a big lump of ski pant.
But at least I didn't freeze!

I agree with you - better to be warm than impressive. You should see how embarrassed I am after riding my bike to work on hot summer days! I get to the changing room asap to clean up and put my "career woman" clothes on.
